According to report published previously by this research group [14], The CxFV strain obtained in this study was derived from Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes, collected between April 2007 and January 2008, in the city of São José do Rio Preto (SJRP). The mosquitoes were pooled according to genus, gender and geographic location, for RNA extraction using Trizol protocol (Invitrogen).

The presence of Flavivirus was detected for each pool by Multiplex-Nested_RT-PCR [15]. Ten positives pools were inoculated three times passages on C6/36. After the third passage pools were tested with primers specific for Culex Flavivirus (CxFV), Saint Louis Encephalitis Virus (SLEV), and West Nile Virus (WNV) [14]. One CxFV isolated was used for sequence analysis in this manuscript.
